The error message you are seeing "could not resolve hostname" points to a problem with the DNS server you are using, so it could be a network problem with a firewall or a proxy. What happens when you type that URL into your browser? Are you able to access it?

Martin, thanks for replying, yes, I am able to access that URL from the browser, is there a zip available for these samples, so that I can download them and load them into STS as Maven projects,

I am not aware of any ZIP files for the sample projects, but I am not the main contact regarding the sample projects, so there might be someone else knowing more than me with regards to a ZIP download.

If you are able to access the URL in the browser, but not from within Eclipse/STS, it looks like the network configuration for Eclipse/STS is not correct. Can you take a look at the proxy configs for your browser and compare them with the proxy settings in Eclipse/STS?
